RIGHT as fans were arriving at Etihad Stadium, the news was beginning to filter through about what had just occurred across the city at the MCG.Richmond had blown it, won it, then blown it again in the space of 21 seconds in a moment that typified a season where the unimaginable continues to play out.No favourite is safe and no result is guaranteed.

But if Richmond’s defeat at the hands of Fremantle resembled just how unpredictable every game has been this season, perhaps Sydney’s 42-point win over North Melbourne highlighted how ridiculous it can be across an entire year.Strange things are happening in the AFL this season — and nothing would be stranger than a team making the finals from 0-6.

But with two convincing wins on the trot and with some of the side’s A-Graders returning to their best, it’s not something the Swans are ruling out just yet.In four quarters of footy on Sunday evening, Sydney encapsulated just why fans would be so confused with what they’ve seen from their side across the first two months of the season.There were moments of brilliance, where the team’s stars fired in a manner that reflected why the side has been so successful for so long.
